The Meeting of the Giant and the Sprout
An historical moment occurred tonight -- the meeting of the 'Giant' and the 'Sprout'. I had dinner with Rhonda and Josh tonight, and as we had never met in person, and in lieu of red carnations in lapels, I described myself as 5 feet tall (the sprout in the story). Rhonda told me that she was very tall (the Giant), but not a giant at all -- just a very elegant woman!
She and Josh were lovely -- it's so nice to meet people with whom you've only chatted online -- a little bit like a blind date too!
Despite the many problems that Rhonda had with her dinner (how many ways can they screw up Salmon? Well...when they bring out chicken, that's a big problem) we had a nice time and a good chat. All about adoption stuff, and other stuff as well (which is always nice -- good to get out of adoption mode once in awhile).
And...so generous!! Rhonda gave me this keychain 
(I know the pic is a bit blurry, but couldn't seem to get it any clearer). The writing means 'good luck' or 'good fortune' which I know we can all use a lot of! Thanks so much R and J!! Looking forward to getting to know you both better as the time goes along

It was great to finally meet you, Sprout!
Sounds like a good time was had by all!!...looking forward to be able to join in one of these adoption group dinners. I hear everyone gets so much out of the forming friendships.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
The best part of this journey is getting to meet all the wonderful people in it with you...Oh and our baby girls!
SO great that you got to meet!
It's great when you get a chance to meet fellow bloggers. Too bad that the restaurant kept messing up.
We have had the pleasure of dining with Rhonda and Josh and know just how lovely they are. Glad that you got the chance to meet them as well!
It's so nice to meet people you have something in common with - and the atopic of adoption really seems to draw people together! Sounds like you had a great time!
Okay, a little typo - I meant the topic!
It is great to have friends to rely on that know exactly what you are going through! Sounds like a great time even with the salmon/chicken mix up!
They are a great couple!
Keep smilin!
